Thanks, Mindy!

I grew a total of 208 tomatoes and 65 bell peppers from seeds, and didn't lose one to damping off. I was truly blessed.

Then I got overzealous with fertilizer and set up a situation where I almost lost all of the tomatoes. Fortunately, the expert DGers here helped me through it, and I only lost about 1/4 of the stock. Unfortunately, since I didn't know it wasn't some deadly disease, my original plan to sell the seedlings at our local farmers market didn't pan out. I have too much gardening integrity to offer diseased seedlings to anyone...

But, I have some VERY happy friends and co-workers who are growing bountiful crops right now!
